Today I woke up from a good night's rest. This morning I have caught up on my Coronaville blocks. I had to cut more fabric as I originally cut for 62 blocks thinking that would be plenty, but think I need more the way things are going. I am sorting blocks on my design wall in groups of 7 to represent the weeks, but have moved to putting two weeks worth on one line with a break between. So here are the first 23 blocks. It sure feels like its been longer than 3 weeks since this all started.
I am enjoying making them. I drew out a paper piecing pattern in EQ. Its a fairly simple block, but I am not all that great at precise piecing, so I do like paper piecing. I am using the freezer paper method which saves from having to rip that paper off. I was able to use my first paper pattern for 20 blocks, before the wax quit adherring because of all the lint stuck to the pattern. I actually sewed on the lines a couple of times which left holes in the pattern - but hey it still worked.
I have so much stuff all over my cutting area from working on masks, temperature quilt, Coronaville, Lone Star, mail and whatever else I set down. I have got to take some time to neaten up today as I don't work well in clutter. First thing was to get my Coronaville under control. I like to only have one project out at a time.
So here is my Coronaville workstuff, now in a box under my cutting table. I got those fabric markers at Tuesday's Morning and am enjoying using them on this project.

Now...get a shower, and get busy cleaning out that closet that I keep putting off. Then I will come back here and clean up a little more - but I enjoy cleaning up in my sewing room :)

Control what you can-- cleaning and tidying help with that. Your colorful village is WONDERFUL!
I love the way that village is coming together.
